I work with adults affected by trauma, stress, and overwhelming life experiences, using EMDR therapy as my primary approach. You may be living with the after-effects of childhood trauma, emotionally abusive relationships, or past events that still feel unresolved. Even if life looks “fine” on the outside, you might feel constantly on edge, not good enough, or stuck in patterns you can’t break. Trauma can leave you feeling unsafe in your own body, weighed down by shame, or disconnected from who you want to be. I focus on treating anxiety, PTSD, depression and help with difficult life events and grief and loss.
As an experienced EMDR therapist in Adelaide, I support people who are ready to process the memories, beliefs, and emotional patterns that keep resurfacing. EMDR can help reduce the intensity of past experiences so they no longer control your present. Many clients begin to feel calmer, more grounded, and more themselves as therapy progresses
No one is a burden for being who they are and everyone deserves to take up space in this world. The decision to start therapy can be challenging. I invite you to reach out to talk about what your going through and how we can work together. If it isn't the right fit, I can help you find someone who is.

Many people find themselves stuck in patterns of self-doubt, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm. At Warming Light Counselling, EMDR therapy is used as a framework to help you move beyond these patterns. EMDR is flexible and tailored to your needs because not everyone processes distress the same way. I adjust the approach and pace to ensure you feel safe, supported, and in control throughout.
